Hiking – Geyser Spring/Winters Trail
Geyer Spring is Colorado's only Geyser, but don't expect Old Faithful. It is a bubbly caldron that may shoot up a foot or 2. The short 1.3 mile hike is fairly steep. The Winters Trail is an easy flat hike through mostly open meadows with great views. Well behaved, leashed doggies are welcome on both hikes, but not allowed in the geyser which contains noxious gas.
